What have you learned so far about life?

<p>

this man speaks the truth... :(</p>

<p>I have learned that I would rather not make 1,000,000 dollars or have the best job or the best college resume if it means going against my morals and beliefs and character. If you have to break your character, it is not worth it.</p>

<p>Don't let others make decision for you
Don't break your ethics, you'll be the one who is hurt</p>

<p>You don't learn anything when you are the one doing the talking.</p>

<p>1."Happiness is not real unless it is shared"-(can't remember)
2. Life often is really awful, all you can do is deal.
3. People are excessively complicated, be careful.</p>

<p>So true.
(Except when you're talking about isomorphisms. Then you learn that you suck at explaining isomorphisms to people.) :p</p>

<li><p>As far as I know, we only get one shot at this life thing. Make sure you're happy during it.</p></li>
<li><p>Just because things suck doesn't mean you have to care that they do.</p></li>
<li><p>Save the drama for the stage... people hate you for it.</p></li>
<li><p>Living for the perfect grade, the perfect school, the perfect job... it's just a never-ending cycle of "when I get THIS, then I can be happy, then I can rest" that will haunt you all through your life. Settle with the best balance of trying hard but actually doing what you like in addition to striving.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Enjoy yourself while you can. Don't worry yourself to death over things you have no control over.</p>

<p>My tour guide in Germany told me that the difference between people from Brandenburg and people from Saxony is this:</p>

<p>The Brandenburg motto is "work hard."
The Saxon motto is "work hard and make good parties."</p>

<p>I think I tend to err on the Saxon side of things.</p>

<p>At the start of the year, I realized that my grades are not everything, there are more important things to life.</p>

<p>This year, I've been getting out-of-this-world grades. Go figure. :S</p>

<p>Everyone in this world has a personal story that will make your heart bleed.</p>

<p>That members of society are excessively cynical and will do anything to slander you and damage your reputation.</p>

<p>To be happy: Live well, laugh often, love much. - Don't know.</p>

<p>It is so hard to be a non-conformist in high school.</p>

<p>Too many people are cowards when it comes to defending the minority in the situation.</p>

<p>Happiness comes not with success as viewed in the eyes of others, but as contentment from within.</p>

<p>Also, the only thing you can control in life is your reaction to what happens to you, not what happens to you.</p>

<p>A GUY-FOCUSED WISDOM: More than anything, women respond to confidence in a man. Guys who want to have more luck with the ladies (whether it's to just find the love of their lives or just to find a girlfriend) should work on this first. And a big clue of how to get this is in the first insight above. If you have contentment and confidence from within -- rather than trying to impress by external things -- women will respond to that if it's genuine.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If you made a mistake, face the consequences.
Some things will be forgotten. Most will come back to haunt you.
And after a failure there is nothing like the feeling that you earned absolution to build you up again.</p></li>
<li><p>The biggest challenges manhood has to face are named freedom, mortality and isolation. The one who isn't terrified by them is either very naive or very wise.</p></li>
<li><p>Losing isn't artistically inspiring, live-changing or romantic.
Losing sucks.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>(Sorry for my grammar- not native)</p>

<p>Life is a ****, but there's no point complaining, because you just gotta do with what you got and enjoy it - every part of it. </p>

<p>So what if things are corrupt? Why not then enjoy that too? Radical Moralism never helped anyone.</p>

<p>You simply gotta do whatever you want, whenever you want, and you will suceed. Never lose ground or allow others to overpower your will - you have to be the dominator.</p>

<p>I have learned to value everything and anything that life gives you. Love your friends, cherish them.</p>

<p>One year ago, I had the best friends a person can ever have. I say that 100 percent. Today, I have lost not only them but a huge part of my life. One of my friends won't even talk to me (because something she did) and got so mad at me at coming to something that she ended up going away and crying. I have lost three of best friends probably for my life. I have lost vaulable members of my guidance suport, and I have lost something I have been doing and a part of for over 14 years. I wish nothing more than to return to that.</p>

<p>You never know the parts of life when you are happy till you are even more unhappy.</p>

<p>Sex is something we dream of.</p>

<p>^ not during refractory period.</p>
